We consider a selective vehicle routing problem, in which customers belonging to di?fferent partners in a logistic coalition are served in a single logistic operation with multiple vehicles. Each partner determines a cost of non-delivery (CND) for each of its customers, and a central algorithm...

Horizontal logistic collaboration leads to large prots when the right coalition is formed. Most of the previous research however explains the profit differences using market conditions on coalitional level. We show that the level of profit is highly dependent on finding a correct combination of...

A model is proposed that integrates a cost allocation method – the Shapley value – into the optimization of the synchronized consolidation of transportation orders. By balancing each partner’s delivery date changes (when synchronizing) against its allocated profit, it ensures that the...
